Amazon is getting closer and closer to that1 - penetrate railroad car corrupt futurewe’ve all want . Fiat Chryslerannounced todaythat it will be be partnering with the shopping behemoth sell cars online at deduction .
Before you get too excited , it ’s important to know that this will only be offered to buyers in Italy ( for now ) via Amazon.it , and it will be confine to three models , the Panda , the 500 , and the 500L. A new Reuters reportexplains how it will work :
So , after making their clicks online , vendee will be meet by Amazon to resolve on a dealer where they can finalise their leverage and peck up the motorcar . The fomite should be ready within two calendar week of the initial click .
It ’s not entirely clear what “ finalize their purchase ” agency . Last month , Amazon.fr and Seatannounced a dealwhere customers in France could pay a car ’s downpayment on Amazon . To really get the car , you have to do a headphone audience and then pay another € 10,490 .
Still , this is great news for someone who would choose to buy a gondola online in monastic order to nullify the bother of haggle and bargaining . You do still have to go to the dealer to plunk it up , but that ’s an melioration over the current elevator car buying process which can be deadening and full of upsells . After all , you do your car research online , you might as well buy it online too .
So will this sort of matter come to the US ? It ’s certainly potential . One of the hurdles face online automobile purchasesJalopnik sharpen outback in August had to do with principal dealership laws that allow only authorized trader to sell automobiles . In Italy , it looks like sales and cartridge will still at long last be with the dealer — Amazon is just your shopping and payment middleman — so it ’s possible Amazon could do something exchangeable stateside .
On a related note , Amazonlaunched itsAmazon Vehicles in the US a few months ago , and the new portal site does everything short of letting you buy a car online . you’re able to study reviews , liken cost , and even buy parts for the car . We can only hope the full 1 - click experience score the US shortly .
